The American in front of compatriot Ganong and a reborn Reichelt, but watch out for Feuz who arrives. The Austrians are hiding, Domme over 2 seconds behind. Innerhofer will only start in Thursday's test.

It is always him, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who precedes everyone also in the first test of the queen descent, the one that we will see duplicated on Friday and Saturday in Kitzbuehel.
Even on the Streif, the 28-year-old American is scary: if he has thrown away the possible encore in Bormio after the first triumph of his career signed in the super-g on the Stelvio, the good Cochran-Siegle is already the reference for the races of the 'Hahnenkammrennen, after having made the void in today's training.
USA very fast, with Ganong second at 35 cents behind his teammate and Goldberg fifth at 57; among them, here is a reborn Hannes Reichelt, third at 48 cents. Of course, it's just a test, but we're on the Streif and the Austrian veteran at the age of 40 has sent a signal, he who triumphed here in 2014 and, after the terrible injury 13 months ago in Bormio, he now seemed increasingly distant from the top. Beat Feuz follows him, fourth at 55 cents and eager to test himself, who usually never pushes in tests, on the descent he has never achieved in his career.
Then there is a lot of Germany with Sander-Baumann, but also with Ferstl and Schmid (and the Germans lack a certain Thomas Dressen, just as Norway lacks Kilde and Sejersted and the Switzerland of Mauro Caviezel), and France that places two athletes in today's top ten with Bailet and Clarey.
The Austrians have definitely hidden themselves, with Mayer, Franz, Striedinger and Kriechmayr all around two seconds behind Cochran-Siegle, while the Azzurri are far away. Let's start from the Innerhofer chapter: Christof, regularly enrolled in the test after what happened in the last few hours with the delayed arrival in Kitz but the negative buffer that will allow him to compete, will only start in the test on Thursday, so they left the gate only six of Ghidoni's boys.
Dominik Paris, returning to the Streif after missing the last edition of the Tyrolean races, finished at + 2 ”36, but did not hurt until the Steilhang, then avoiding to push particularly between Laerchenschuss and Hausbergkante. In front of the captain of the national team the best was Matteo Marsaglia, in the 30 with a gap of 1 ”98.
